[Verse 1]
I gave in when you gave out
You showed me the way to love, there ain't no doubt
Always together and never apart
Disappeared, didn't say a word
I slept right through, guess I never heard
Now I'm awake but I wish I was dreaming

[Chorus]
Everyday, without you in my heart
Everyday, I'm falling apart
And I know you know I think about you everyday

[Verse 2]
I woke up and you were gone
Just one night without you, it's too long
Sleeping with the ghost of you
Dying with or without you
Don't want to feel this way tomorrow

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Don't know what you got until it's gone

[Outro]
Everyday, everyday, without you in my heart
Everyday, I'm falling apart
And I know you know I think about you
Everyday, until I see you again
Everyday, I'll try to pretend
But I know you know I think about you
Everyday, out of my head, I've been dazed and confused
Everyday, I'm lost but it's you that I don't want to lose
Everyday, we're torn to giving ourselves to each other

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
